ASUU Praises OOU VC’s Appointment as CVCNU Chair

The Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU), Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) branch, has lauded the emergence of Professor Ayodeji Johnson Agboola, the Vice-Chancellor of the university, as the chairman of the Committee of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (CVCNU). In a statement released on Friday, the chairman of the OOU branch of ASUU, Dr Olumuyiwa Ganiyu Yinusa, commended the appointment, stating that it reflects the leadership qualities of Professor Agboola. According to Yinusa, the appointment is a testament to the Vice-Chancellor’s commitment to the development of higher education in Nigeria. The CVCNU is a body of vice-chancellors from various Nigerian universities, which works to coordinate and promote academic and administrative activities in the nation’s tertiary institutions. This appointment comes at a critical time for the Nigerian education system, as ASUU has been engaged in a protracted strike over various issues, including poor funding and infrastructure, amongst others.
